Does sound like its beeing starved of fluid? Not all new pumps are to be trusted.

So in answer to your question, there was several things wrong with my steering. It had the wrong fluid in, the filter was dirty, the new pump I fitted was faulty and finally the seals in the rack had disintegrated. reconditioned racks are normally tested before they are sent out. I would check...

On 2006 to 2009 there was a manufacturing problem where they didn’t clean out the racks properly but it still took 10 years before mine failed. When I fitted a new pump it made it worse because that was pre broken. Only way to diagnose it conclusively would be to diagnose with a gauge which is a...

Sounds like a connection issue, intermittent faults are a bind to track down.

I can help you with the mirrors. Adjust the mirrors to where you want them while you’re in reverse and it should remember the setting. I will have a look at the diagram later for the sensors. What model and year is it?

When I started regularly driving across to Spain, I changed the steel space saver wheel for an alloy wheel that matched the rest on the car. Reason being if I had to put the spare on I did not want to be restricted on speed. I found that the alloy wheel was lighter and easier to lift into the...

As I recall it is controlled by the computer under the driver seat, and adjust the mirrors according to the memory settings for the person driving. Have you selected a different memory setting for the seat that has not had the mirrors adjusted accordingly. Try a different memory setting for the...

Has it damaged the crank sensor?

When I got my FL2 The second key fob was badly worn and did not work. I did manage to resurrect it as I mentioned before, but I’ve priced a new key fob from LR and they quoted me £180 and that was eight years ago. To replace the battery and the casing cost me about.£7 at the time.

Just found this if you are feeling brave. Think its very costly to go to land rover. Let us know if you have a go.

Dont have a spare that is
